Old $20 bills

a friend of mine works at a bank and found 4 old design $20 bills (1977, 1985,
1988, and 1990) in reletively new condition, are they worth anything?

The $20 bills are worth a little more than $20 if they are star notes.

Back in the late 80's, I found a 1950B series $20 bill at work, in very nice
(XF to AU condition). I swapped it out and kept it. I called a coinshop at
the time and asked how much it was worth. He suggested spending it....

I didn't, and still have that note today. Still worth VERY little, if any,
over face.

So, if you are a collector, and can afford to eat up $80 for your collection...
Then keep them, but they'll probably never make you rich in your lifetime...
but, they're neat to have!

To a collector, slightly over face value. That being said, bear in mind that
the amount over face goes up / down appropriately in relation to these three
factors:
1) How much over / under "relitively new condition" they actually are; 2) How
badly the collector wants them; and 3) How much spending money the collector is
willing to let loose of.

I would suggest, barring that your friend's in dire need of financial funds at
the moment, have him/her go to a local Coin Club meeting and / or coin show
with them.

If finances are trully an issue, feed the family first.

If you had taken that $20 and invested it, it would be worth $93 today
(at the average return of the stock market).

Meanwhile, $20 back then has dwindled to $13 today in purchasing power
due to inflation.

But it's still kind of cool, I guess...

Isn't that usually the way of things in the world of collecting?

I've saved quite a number of notes with unusual serial numbers. I have a bill
that ends with six 9's, and lots of bills that have 5 of the same number.
